Fischer Introduces Bipartisan Bill to Improve VA Hiring, Retention of High-Skilled Doctors

“Hiring and retaining skilled physicians is a serious challenge within the VA and it needs to be addressed now. Giving the VA flexibility to retain medical professionals will help it compete with private-sector salaries and ensure veterans receive high-quality care. I thank Senators King and Blumenthal for their leadership, and I will continue working to support Nebraska’s veterans.”
